Konatsu Warren

SO AS MENTIONED IN HIS HAPPY ENDING THREADS, Konatsu has been given three sets of candles by Beauty with which to contact his loved ones in Aather.

The specs are as follows: you get one candle and a box of matches! The candle is about three tealights tall and will burn for 12 hours (not all at once unless someone is careless . . . IT CAN BE BLOWN OUT AND RELIT). When the candle is lit the person/people who have it will be able to see and talk to Konatsu \o/

Here's where he's giving them out:


Blue candle: to Shuri, with the instructions to share it with Mikage, Hakuren, and Alena

Peach candle: to Wrath, with the instructions that it's for all of Ruby

White candle: to Dusk, with the instructions that Jade can use it too if he wants NOT THAT HE WILL BECAUSE HE'S A JERK!!, along with the rest of TE and Natalia if she ever returns


OOCly just let me know if you ever want to use the candles! I will be around IRC and stuff so you can poke me anytime; I assume this is something we can do in a journal, or handwave if you just want to be like "Oh hey can I assume XXX contacted him to talk about XXX." I AM ALWAYS UP FOR PLAYING IT OUT even though he is not in Aather anymore (ish)!

SOMEONE'S BEHIIIIIND

#21 is his memory of meeting Shuri's father :'D and is right here, from that page to page 11! Basically after Antwort, Wakaba comes to check on Shuri, who introduces him to Konatsu WITH SO MUCH FANBOY DERE and Wakaba assigns Konatsu to take care of him, much to Konatsu's chagrin :'D then as he's walking away Konatsu overhears him say the thing about how PEOPLE LIKE KONATSU HAVE A USE ♥ and flips out. This is the first time we see the nailbat in the manga and the only time we see Konatsu swear UGH SHURI'S DAD IS HORRIBLE AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF SHURI D|

Also I just realized I left the next segment of that chapter off of my registry so yay new memory to add. Which is nice because he only has 13 left . . .

#22 IS ALSO A TRIV NEG but an angstier one, right here! That's really all we see of his interaction with his classmates but I tend to assume that's about as good as it got for him; he was picked on and teased a lot for being ~that weird stuck up quiet kid who was better than everyone else on tests~ and I figure he probably didn't have any friends and talked himself into thinking he didn't want or need them because he was TOO BUSY STUDYING :E

Oh I never wrote up skill #4 but that was just military hand to hand combat so there's not much to say about it other than--hand to hand combat.

Anyway I actually switched out for this skill because I'm vastly entertained by Konatsu continually not getting sword skills back :'D

Konatsu is a berserker! In that scene he has a broken arm and some broken ribs and pretty much just ignores them because he's lost himself in the fight with Hyuuga, until he finally falls unconscious. It's nothing superhuman and it doesn't make him any better of a fighter, it just means that if he's REALLY into a battle, his bloodthirst will take over for him and allow him to ignore injuries until they're too severe to handle.

Mostly this will make him more brutal in serious physical fights (not that he ever . . . gets into those . . . ) and will up his pain tolerance in extreme circumstances.

From the most terrible drama CD ever.

I've mentioned this CD before and it's total stupid crack and this memory is part of it. It's about Konatsu and Hyuuga's relationship and how obsessed Konatsu is with him and his health and habits and yeah. Ruby I am so sorry you live with him . . .

In this particular part of the memory, though, Konatsu is talking about Hyuuga and Ayanami and Hyuuga's like "oho is Konatsu jealous of our relationship :)" and Konatsu flips out in that extremely tsundere NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING~ way which means "oh god yes I am ;;"

He also does it in singsong sooooo.

+ 100 I AM NEVER SINGING FOR A GAME, I AM TERRIBLE
+ 100 lol gosh I sure did have a. gigantic crush on my superior. that's awk.

Oh no I'm behind on memories how can this be! Technically he hasn't taken either of these yet but he will after(/during) his thread with Mukuro, so!


MEMORY #15 (WHEN I'M 70 . . . ) // TRIVIAL NEUTRAL

This one's from a drama CD which I have no script for so no hardcore writeup! This is also not the entire CD, just one scene. What happens basically is that Konatsu is told by Hyuuga to write a speech-thing for Chairman Miroku's upcoming birthday wishing him well on behalf of the Black Hawks; the entire thing ends up a SERIES OF STUPID MISCOMMUNICATIONS and Konatsu ends up convinced that Miroku is a lot older than he is and is dying and flips the fuck out with stress over having to write this thing. IN THE SCENE WHICH IS THIS MEMORY, he's like "Oh god what do I do WHAT DO I DO well okay um well wishes um what would I want if I were that age!?" ("That Age" being like 70+.) And he comes up with "WELL OKAY I WOULD WANT . . . TO BE SURROUNDED BY GRANDCHILDREN . . . AND HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS *___*!!!"

Of course he's stressed to the point of total insanity at this point so he does this in singsong and I wish I had the track for you guys because this is the first time we hear that Konatsu is a horrific singer.

Anyway it's interesting for him to take this after recent events because the point of it is that when Konatsu thinks about his future/end-of-life goals, he wants to be loved rather than accomplished! And settled with a family! So that kind of--sends a message to him about that kind of thing.

+1000 dere for loved ones and +100 "lol guess I'm never getting a singing skill back, holy shit"


MEMORY #16 (THE TEN 10,000 YUUS MAN) // TRIVIAL NEGATIVE

This is the rest of the bubblewrap memory, so it starts here with Konatsu spilling the coffee into Hyuuga's lap ha ha ha and goes to the end!

This is pretty much just. An incredibly stupid happening in Konatsu's life back when he was I'm guessing 17 or so (this chapter appears as an extra in the Children volume so it's probably a flashback). READ IT IT'S HILARIOUS but the basic gist of it is that Konatsu can be really gullible sometimes and has a tendency to beat himself up when he makes mistakes (which he. has already figured out in Aather is one of his major personality traits). Also this is the only time in the manga we see him actually strike someone with the nailbat as opposed to just wanting to or hitting inanimate objects with it.

+1000 what the hell is my life and why am I sometimes a dumb child and I TOTALLY BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HYUUGA FOR BEING EVEN DUMBER THAN I AM GOSH

This memory was in the form of BPAL, a bottle of Cathode! :D

Woooo it's time to add to his registry because he's almost half done gosh! And MORE CANON HAS APPEARED 8D

But anyway! Quick and easy writeup because I only need to link the Wiki article on this! Which is right here.

Basically he remembers this page; it fills in the details of his world's mythology which he was missing before. HOWEVER I had to alter the memory some from his registry! Originally this was called "hearing the legend of Verloren and the Seven Ghosts as a child, from his grandfather." But I was discussing this with Shuri and Hakuren a while ago and what I'm going to do is change this to "hearing the legends in school," with the memory of his grandfather's story being a different, locked memory. The reasoning behind this is that I assume warsfeil children hear a more sympathetic to Verloren version of this story--but since we don't know yet in canon what actually DID happen to Eve and Verloren, we don't know what the more sympathetic version IS (because it's implied that maybe Verloren didn't really fuck up as much as he was accused of).

So, the Warsfeil Version is going back on his registry and being locked, and the Standard Version is what he remembers, and what's linked in that wiki. \o/

Effects on him are not much, but mostly, he now knows what Pandora's Box IS, and since he remembers that's what the Black Hawks are trying to find, he has a better idea of wtf they've been doing and why (spoilers: nothing good).

I felt a little weird making a headcanon memory a sig neg BUT when this occurred to me, I realized it was pretty much . . . a given that it had happened to him at some point in the past and that it fucked with him a lot at the time SO W/E W/E!

( EXPLANATION! )


WHAT HE LEARNS:

* I was pretty miserably screwed up as a kid
* My family would have liked it if I'd lost my soul . . . ? MAYBE? Oh god what was wrong with our relationship
* Personal experience with a kor and better knowledge of what they do and what happens to their victims
* Warsfeil can "use" people after they lose their souls? Or something? (Note though that he doesn't remember his family's whole deal yet)
* ALMOST KILLED MYSELF FOR ACCEPTANCE YEAAAH GOOD CHOICES

Aw yeah SHURIMEMORY

Starts here (not including the Eye stuff, which is a different memory) and going until the end of that chapter (page 26)!

( BREAKDOWN )


WHAT HE REMEMBERS

* holy shit Shuri is a idiot and everyone knows it
* HE WASN'T THAT DIFFERENT EITHER . . .
* his father is the one responsible for him being there, and is Important
* so that's Ayanami--he's scary
* Shuri was Ayanami's begleiter uh. n-no
* this probably happened while we were on the way to the battle where I saved him because that happened in an icy place
* more Black Hawks interaction! being a mean girl with Hyuuga, being PRETTY OKAY with Kuroyuri being a murderer, being terrified of pissing off Ayanami, wtf Shuri wtf


WHAT THIS MEANS

+10 o . . . oh Shuri . . .
+5 okay with his friends casually being homicidal as long as they don't act on it
+10 SO THAT'S AYANAMI, NOT SURE IF WANT
+5 Hyuugadere
+5 Kuroyuridere
+10 images of what his life was like starting to clear up a bit (apparently, a constant juggling of srs business and totally ludicrous events, MUCH LIKE AATHER)

WOO HOO MEMORY ADAPTED FROM A DRAMA CD

So like Shuri mentioned in a write-up 07-Ghost has drama CDs, some of which are canon (or could be) and some of which are--probably too cracky to be real canon. This one is adapted from one of the latter. So it's not the exact incident in that CD but it's based on it in a way that's less omg what is this ha ha ha.

Basically it was an ~ordinary day~ in Konatsu's begleiter life which involved a lot of harassing Hyuuga as he usually does--to get to work on time, to finish his paperwork, to drink this tea, sign that document, put down that takeaway menu, take a break now you look stressed but only for ten minutes or you'll get in trouble with Ayanami-sama, Major! now eat this, you don't get enough vitamins, you've been sleeping badly--

And then he realized ~Ah, he really needs me, no one else could do my job, because no one knows Major Hyuuga like I do!! ♥~


WHAT HE REMEMBERS

* I was a personal assistant
* I was REALLY GOOD AT IT
* . . . Maybe I am kind of a nanny . . . :(
* Gosh I kind of get off a little on being indispensable but I kinda knew that already
* I THINK MAYBE I HAD A THING FOR HYUUGA :U


EFFECTS

+100 even more attentiveness to the needs of people he feels responsible for
+50 tolerance for mothering people
+50 feelings of responsibility in mothering people
+25 desire to be THE BEST AT TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE HE LOVES NO ONE ELSE IS THIS GOOD!
+10 dere for Hyuuga

IN CASE ANY CHARACTER WOULD NOTICE THIS (I mean his team . . . would . . . maybe) Konatsu will NOT BE IN AATHER for Day 52! From right after dawn until right after dusk. He is off making Good Choices. When he gets back he will be very tired and dirty and have a tan. Vacation indeed.

He told Oz and he also left a note on the whiteboard he got for Ruby with that one quest I totally offscreened him cashing in on. It says something brief like "Will see you all after dusk, am completely safe, do not worry."

. . . Oh yeah Ruby we have a whiteboard now. ENJOY P/A MESSAGES TO ONE ANOTHER
